So now you’re in Washington, when all of a sudden you realize you have no idea what’s going on in the world of politics. Well, have no fear because I am here…to rhyme…and tell you what online newsletters you should get in your inbox and read every day. You’ll become a politico in no time.
The New York Times- First Draft on Politics
If you’re looking for an easy-to-read newsletter that will give you the basic political rundown of the day, then look no further than the NYT. Their political morning newsletter explains in layman’s terms everything you need to know that’s happening in Washington and on the campaign trail. Sign up here.
Politico Playbook
If you need to know what’s happening inside the Beltway — like waaaay inside — then there’s Playbook, a daily email from Politico’s Mike Allen. It’s a lengthy read, and pretty wonky, but it’s the place where all DC insiders go each morning. Sign up here.

Making your D.C. Bucket List
By Devon King
Spring 2015
When you first get to D.C. you’re going to feel overwhelmed—there’s so much to do here and you might only have one semester to do it. You’ll have to weigh your options to see what you should pay for, what’s 100% necessary to do, and what you wouldn’t mind missing out on. The best way to do this is a Bucket List, your must-do’s of D.C. Everyone will tell you what’s on their bucket list, but what do you quintessentially need to do? Here are my 16 suggestions:
- Visit all 17 Smithsonian Museums that are located in the Greater D.C. area. They’re all free, all interesting, and a great way to kill a Saturday afternoon.
- Go on a night tour of the monuments. It’s one thing to see them during the day, but it’s another to see them lit up, with fewer crowds. No matter the weather, you’ll enjoy this.
